Finding A Clam Mine.
From a Boston Dispatch.


They have discovered q clam mine
in Ipswich, and it is so valuable that
they are arresting all outsiders who
trespass on the diggings. The towns
of Ipswich and Essex both lay claim
to the river flats, which, it has been
discovered, are rich with juicy, white
shelled fruit. No clam diggings were
ever known here like these. The CLAIMS
in number, size and quality surpass
anything ever seen here before. They
lie 80 thickly together in the mud and
are so easily gathered that even a
green hand at clam digging can easily
earn 81 day at the work.
The value of the bed is estimated at
$50, 900, and chance to labor in it's
vicinity is q coveted prize. The peo-
pie of Ipswich claim the exclusive
right to work the mine, and they have
caused the arrest of two Essex claim
diggers for trespass. To-day the Es-
sex people retaliated by arresting
William and Frank Jewett on the
same charge. The cases will be heard
in the Gloucester Police Court Friday.
1t is g. question of town lines, and the
records of colonial days must settle
the dispute.

A Nihilist's Disguise.

The Odessa correspondent of the
Daily News writes: a case transpired
here the other day which reveals in g.
curious manner the successful ruses
adopted by the NihiIists for the
spread of their revolutionary litera-
ture. An apparently half demented
AMI harmless person, a young man OF
some 25 years OF age and very poorly
clad. has for some time past picked
up g. precarious livelihood as peripa-
tetic vendor of almanacs, calendars,
children's story books, etc. All these
articles were of the cheap popular
quality. His basket and wallet con-
tanned also the snowy prints of relig-
ious subjects much affected by the
poorer classes. A few days ago he
was detected in the sale of Nihilist
literature. He was arrested and his
stock confscated. His character of g.
poor imbecile, supported by the evil
dence of the police, and his story of
acquiring the forbidden literature at
a. trihlng cost from an unknown
stranger, and his general incoherence
and Inability to write, were so evil
dent to the bench that he was at
once discharged. A couple of days
later it was found that the imbecile's
colporteur's passport was false. and
the police discovering that he was
known to certain citizens as appear
ing on many occasions in
certain private circles as q we'll
dressed, well-educated, and highly
informed young man, who spoke
learnedly on matters of internal pol
icy, a warrant was immediately issued
for his re-arrest. It is needless to say
that he has not been found, nor is he
likely to be. The character and dis
guises assumed by many of these
young propagandists defy the utmost
vigilance of the regular and secret po-
lice, and successfully deceive, as in
this case, both magistrates and the
so-called lynx-eyed Russian judges of
Instruction.

Good Breeding.

From the Youths Companion.
When g. young man, about to VlslC
Europe, asked DR.. Caldwell, of Ken
lucky, for letters of introduction, he
received with them this bit of advice:
':These letters, beside making you
known to the person to whom they are
addressed, will probably procure for
you breakfast or dinner, and then
| their influence will end. But you may
carry with you another article which
will never cease to serve you. 1t Is
good breeding-manifested by pro-
priety of behavior and courtesy OF
manner"
Once, while in London, DR.. Caldwell
listened to the complaints OF several
young Americans, who affirmed that
they never asked q Londoner to direct
them to any point in the city without
receiving an uncivil answer, or none
at all.
The Doctor said that, as his expe-
rience had been different, he suspected
their failures arose from the bluntness
of their manner. Unable, however, to
convince them, he proposed practi-
cal experiment.
The young gentlemen and DR.. Cald
we'll walked two or three hours on the
London streets. They designated the
persons to whom questions should be
addressed and also the topics Of in
curry, but the Doctor was in every
case the spokesman of the party.
He questioned more than twenty
persons, from the aristocratic gentle
man to the servant in livery. From
each one he received courteous, and
generally satisfactory, answer. If
the individual addressed could not
give the information asked for, he
apologized for his ignorance.
The persons accosted generally i'm
itated DR.. Caldwell's manner. If the
Doctor took off his hat, the gentle
man also uncovered. II the Doctor
touched his hat to a liveried servant,
the mans was instantly under his
arm.
The young Americans surrendered,
and frankly acknowledged that the
Doctor was right and they wrong.
They learned from this the practical
lesson that courtesy of address is
useful in securing those little favors
which lubricate the grooves of life.
Good breeding is founded on good
nature and good sense. It expresses
itself by that courtesy of tone and
manner which says, even to trough, 1"
'I will gladly be your debtor if you
will assist me by g. word" The
toughest man is for the moment
changed by this friendly manner, for
like begets like.

A Choice Montana Steak.
From the Philadelphia News,


He was q cowboy, minus the leggins
and sombrero, and he said to the re-
porter: ST have been East for two
months, and in Philadelphia g.
month, and have eaten at the best
hotels, and I have never eaten any
thing as fine as steak Ia Montana.
"You see out there we have plenty
OF meat, and this is the way we cook
our steak in ranch: We first cut
three large steaks, one of them O.
trif1e smaller than the other two. A
fire is then built in hole dug in the
ground for the purpose, and when
this fire is reduced to bed OF Goals
the small steak, properly seasoned,
is placed between the other two and
skewered.
'They are then placed on the fire,
and another is kindled on top of
them. When the top fire is burnt
it is covered with earth end allowed
to shoulder.
CATER given time the steak is re-
moved, aud q succulent morsel it is,
absolutely permeated with the juices
OF the two enveloping steaks and with
the seasoning.

ways in the effete East, but we can
cook steaks against the world"

The Humorous Chipmunk.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post
The chipmunk is not usually con-
sldered a creature of intelligence, yet
1t Is intelligence, or something akin to
that, which gives him his sense Of
humor. Any one who has enjoyed
the peaceful siesta of mid September
day reclining on the fragrant couch of
pine needles which this austere mon
arch OF the forest spreads beneath his
reslnous shade will recall what q
thrill OF surprise and pleasure is felt
to be suddenly startled out OF q
sleepy reverie by the energetic whir OF
the bright-eyed, alert little striped fell
low sitting on the branch above your
head, who, with perfect composure
eyes you without winking. Suddenly,
as you open your eyes wider,
the impudent fellow begins to
crack an acorn he has produced from
somewhere, then nibbles most i'm
politely directly in your sight, tnen
without the slightest warning drops
the shell of the nut into your up
turned eyes and then scampers away
up into the highest branches Of the
tree, whisking his brush in glee, laugh
ing, no doubt, at his Cleverness. 1t
has not yet been proved by scientists
that calculation is q part Of the
process of thought in the chipmunk's
brain, but why should he always place
himself in the position to enjoy his
little joke at our expense ii he cannot
think out his methods 2

Dick Turpins in Italy.

It appears that the greater part of
the band of brigands whose attack on
g. traveller was mentioned a fortnight
ago are still at large, the contadini
being either afraid or unable to arrest
them. A correspondent writes from
the sneighborhood of Bologna under
date of September IL: "Since I last
wrote to you the highwaymen who
are infesting the wild country between
this and Pistola havs been giving fresh
proof of their existence by stopping q
countess who was driving home to her

A Remarkable Growth.

The many friends of Messrs. Montgomery
Ward d Co., formerly at 227 and 229 Wa
bash Az, Chicago, will be glad to know
that the rapid growth of their business has
forced them to remove from Wabash Ave. to
Ill, 112, 113 and Ia Michigan Ave, where
they have purchased a magnificent building,
the seven floors of which they will occupy
exclusively. These seven floors are each
1Oox165 feet. aggregating nearly 10000
square feet about acres of floor surface.
The new quarters will enable them to ham
die their large business to the better advant-
age of their thousands of customers. Fiji
teen years ago Messrs. Montgomery Ward
q Co. occupied but one room and that only
25x40 feet The enormous growth of their
business during these fifteen years can only
be explained by the act that they sell direct
to consumers, supplying all their wants. and
'1ever misrepresent any article. The success
of this house proves the old saying, that
Honesty is the best policy" and from
this policy they never deviate. The Fall
catalogue issued by Messrs. Montgomery
Ward d Co. ought to be in every family.

Ladies Killed and Drowned.
From the London World.


The number of ladies who have been
accidentally killed or drowned
this summer is quite remarkable.
Miss Milbank was killed by fall
from q carriage at Ipswhich; Lady
Walker, Mrs. Barley and another
lady, whose name [ can not now re-
member, were also thrown out of car
riages or from their horses, during the
past three or four weeks, and SO
fatally injured that recovery was
hopeless from the first. A lady and
her little grandson were drowned in
the Isle of Wight, and three young
girls (sisters) were lost while
bathing in Cornwall. Their mother,
who tried to save one of them, was
herself rescued with great difficulty.
Miss Milbank, was the daughter of
Lady Susan Milbank, of the Chest
nuts, Sutton, and niece to the Duke OF
Leeds. She was only II, and q very
charming and beautiful girl.

"Don'U Marry Him 2"

''He is such tickle, inconstant fellow,
you will never be happy with him." said
Esthers friends when they learned of her
engagement to young man who bore the
reputation of being a sad hirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities, and she was willing to take the
isk. In nine cases out of ten it would ha We
proved a mistake; but Esther was an I'M
common girl and to every ones surprise,
Fred made model husband. How wa t?
Well, Esther, had cheerful, sunny IL
per and great deal of tact. Then she en-
joyed perfect health and was always SO
sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found
his own home most pleasant, and his own
wife more agreeable than any other being. AS
the year passed and he saw other women of
Esther's age grow sickly faded and queru-
lous he realized more and more that he
had "a jewel Of wife" Good health was
half the secret of Esther's success. She re-
tanned her vitality and good looks, because
she warded off feminine weaknesses and
ailments by the use of DR.. Pierc's Fayorite

The Ola Silver Spoon.

How fresh in my mind are the days of my
sickness,
When tossed me in PAIN all fevered and
sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and
weakness,
And even the old spoon that my medicine
bore
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
The sick-chamber spoon that my medi-
cine bore.
How 10th were my fever-parched lips to re-
ceive it,
How nauseous the stuff that it bore to my
tongue,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught
could relieve it,
Though tears of disgust from my eye
balls it wrung.
The old silver spoon, the medicine
spoon,
How awful the stuff that it left on my
tongue.

memory of horror. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
